 * **Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long**
 * This usually means the implementation of SSL on your server is not correct. The
   error is usually caused by a server side problem which the server administrator
   will need to investigate.
 * Below are some things I recommend trying.
 * 1. Ensure that port 443 is open and enabled on your server. This is the standard
   port for https communications.
 * 2. If SSL is using a non-standard port then FireFox 3 can sometimes give this
   error. Ensure SSL is running on port 443.
 * 3. If using Apache2 check that you are using port 443 for SSL. This can be done
   by setting the ports.conf file as follows
 * > Listen 80
   >  Listen 443 https
 * 4. Make sure you do not have more than one SSL certificate sharing the same IP.
   Please ensure that all SSL certificates utilize their own dedicated IP.
 * 5. If using Apache2 check your vhost config. Some users have reported changing
   <VirtualHost> to _default_ resolved the error.
 * 6. Make sure that your [SSL certificate](https://www.behance.net/gallery/22208919/Get-Your-Website-SSL-Certified-ASAP)
   is not expired.

 * You need to get in touch with your hosting provider for this problem. They will
   check the configuration and will assist you if anything is wrong with it.
